Review: The Fastest Samsung Drive I've Yet Used - What you want to know is this: is this SSD faster than the 850 EVO? When dealing with SSD's, does any appreciable difference in speed occur, since they are all so fast, anyway? The fact is this: I've been using Samsung SSD's of varying varieties for years, and when I recently replaced my Samsung 840EVO with this one (on my boot drive), the speed notice WAS undeniably different. Yes, I still has those couple of seconds of booting time after the POST routine finished, but instead of programs loading, they almost felt like they were POPPING, this thing is so fast. For example, when I log into Windows 10, I would get that slight lag time as the desktop loaded. Now, admittedly, we are dealing with very small time differences here, because my 840 IS fast. But when I put this thing in, when I logged in, the screen just POPPED open, almost like there was no load time. None of this is a scientific description, but it is the absolute experience I've had with this new type of memory that Samsung is using in the 850 PRO. It is still pretty pricey, so I've gone with the 250Gb version for my boot disk, and then run my other, larger Samsung 840's and traditional drives as secondary drives. And it is true that I am using this in a system that I built myself with only superior parts (motherboard, RAM, video, etc.), but there is absolutely no question to the answer you are looking for if you are investigating this drive: YES, it IS faster than the previous drives that Samsung put out (and still sells). Is it worth the price? Hard to say. First, is what type of computer user are you? What types of programs do you typically run? And what type of system do you have? For example, if the bottleneck is in another part of the system, you may not get the most bang for your buck by spending the extra on this PRO version. But if you have a modern, well-specified computer, you will notice a speed difference. I certainly did. And now comes the wait until the 850 PRO prices come down, because what you really want is something like this, but in 4Tb or larger. It will be a few years before we see such storage, and at reasonable prices, but this drive clearly shows it is coming. For now, if you are dealing with a desktop, consider my strategy of using it as the boot disk with all your programs installed, and other, less expensive drives for storage. If this is for a laptop, you have to ask yourself if your laptop is new enough and powerful enough (RAM, processor, video system, etc.) to warrant the extra expense. All SSD drives are fast, and generally, scream past the traditional spin platter drives we all grew up with. But there IS a difference in how the memory in an SSD is constructed (read the Samsung material here on desertcart to understand the difference in this particular type of configuration), and then, of course, there is the often-overlooked factor of the controller attached to the disk, which also has an impact on speed. Of all the Samsung drives I've purchased, this is the best, and fastest. Its a superb drive that is a window into the future of SSD drives. The holidays are coming soon, so you might watch it for temporary price drops. I cannot justify (or afford) the price of these in their largest size, but for a boot drive of 250Gb, I get most all the benefits for just a little over $100. This is a five-star product.
Review: The fastest hard drive ive ever looked upon. - I bought this hard drive to replace a Western Digital Black for extreme gaming. I play old games and new games, so this review will be detailed. My system setup consists of an i7 4770k CPU, Asus Sabertooth z87 MB, 32 GB G.Skill RAM @ 2400mhz, and of course, the Samsung 850 Pro. My tests will include games, system and programs, music and video, and a benchmark tool. 1. Games - When it comes to gaming, having an SSD dramatically decreased load times for most newer games. Old games are not really affected due to how little data most of them need to load from the hard drive in today's standards. The biggest improvement came with Star Citizen. SC is still in super alpha, so nothing is optimized and load times are outrageous. Were outrageous. It used to take me nearly 2 minutes to load into hangar, now with the 850 pro, its less than 30 seconds. Other games such as Planetside 2, Mad Max, Homeworld etc have also vastly improved loading times. And its not just load times that are improved. In some games such as GTA San Andreas you can move into a new area faster than the hard drive can load things like building textures and pedestrians. The SSD solves this, no more do things just pop into existence beside you. Skyrim also has a bit of this problem too if you use a mod to give you a fast ride. Overall in the gaming department, this is really where the SSD shines to me. 2. System and Software - Windows startup time is also another area that shines brightly with an SSD. Traditional hard drive takes 1 minute or more to boot, sometimes 45 seconds if you got a good drive and a fresh install of windows. With the 850 pro, my fully loaded Windows 10 Pro OS can boot up in 22 seconds. That's with no password and such. 22 seconds from power button to mouse moving on desktop. The system tray icons at the bottom right of the desktop used to take 2 or 3 minutes for all of them to load up after arriving to the desktop, now with the 850 pro they all pop up simultaneously and instantly. My web browser, Firefox, used to take about 2 or 3 seconds to load up after clicking, now before my ear can even register the second click of the mouse, the browser is fully loaded and ready to go. I have also noticed greatly increased performance in Microsoft office programs, especially excel and power point. Then came the real software test. WinRar. As a winrar test i packed up 10 GB of music to test speeds. It took less than a minute to package up (compress) the 10 GB using the Best compression method, where as on a traditional hard drive your looking at 30 to 45 minutes of waiting maybe even more since i used the best method. Unpackaging (decompression) was instantaneous at the click of the mouse. Every thing i do is like a flash of light. 3. Music and Movies - Not much to say here other than transfer speeds are high, but i wouldn't keep music or movies on an SSD, they don't play better or sound better, but they do take up limited space and put wear and tear on the drive. Best to leave them on the traditional hard drive. 4. Benchmark - I have included a screenshot of the benchmarking program i used to test this hard drive. As you can see all test results exceed the specifications of this hard drive. I could to many different tests using many different settings but i stuck with the default and most used one. Construction - The SSD's construction is very nice. It is very strong and solid, but also very light almost like paper. It is very smooth and slim and should fit nearly anywhere you want to put it. Also the sata and power connectors are stiff and strong. Software - The samsung magician software that is paired with the hard drive is also very nice. It shows the health and total data written to the hard drive, can change windows options to better suit the SSD and its needs, encryption, the works. The only thing is that Rapid Mode does not work for windows 10 yet but Samsung says they are working hard on it, it has something to do with the new way windows 10 manages memory. Conclusion - Overall, this is the greatest hard drive Ive ever seen. Its super fast, super strong, has great software, and is backed up by a monster 10 year warranty. I looked forward to many years of extreme gaming with this SSD. I would highly haft to recommend this SSD to everyone. It is a truly great product made by a great company from a great nation. You wont be disappointed with this SSD. If you found this review helpful, please like it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the 850 PRO and the 850 EVO???**
A: The 850 PRO uses MLC NAND and the 850 EVO uses TLC NAND.The 850 PRO is also objectively faster usually you can only see this in professional environments which required large files to read and written randomly.  You will not be able to perceive the difference on a consumer grade machine (that is not running these drives in RAID).MLC usually has better endurance than TLC.If you need an SSD for a home computer that is not going to be in a RAID get the EVO.

**Q: what is included in the box? Do I need to buy any cables to install this? and what else do i need?**
A: The box has just the drive and a CD with the Samsung Magician software and the Samsung Cloning SoftwareYou will need different things depending on what you want:In any case you will need a screw driver to install the drive in your laptop/desktopYour various options for using this drive are :1) Clean Install, No cloning of existing drive, Replace Existing drive in its place to make this the primary, 2) Clone existing drive, replace existing drive in its place after cloning to make this the primary,3) Add this as a second drive in addition to your earlier drive and clone the existing drive to this to make this the primary, 4) Add this as a second drive in addition to your earlier drive and use this as the secondary while letting your existing drive remain as the  primaryWhat you need for each of the above:For 1) Just the screwdriver lol and then after installation an Operating System CD to install an OS in your new SSDFor 2) If you want to clone your existing drive then you will need a SATA III cable or SATA to USB enclosure to connect your SSD to a SATA or USB port while cloning. Try ASIN: B008ASF5MC or ASIN: B00E362W9O. The CD has the cloning software. After cloning put this drive in the place of your primary and reboot and it will boot up with everything like it was before except at a monstrous speed  For 3) If you want to install the SSD as a second (but not necessarily secondary) drive in an existing SATA drive slot (ex. DVD Writer) then you will need a SSD Caddy. You will need to find out which Caddy fits your existing slot. Refer to these :http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=3&chapter=0http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=8http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2After this You will need to clone the existing drive to this, reboot, change the boot order to boot from the SSD and reboot.For 4) Just find your Caddy from the steps above and install the SSD in it and rebootHave a good day and peace

**Q: What are the differences between this SSD and the Samsung 840 EVO-Series that make this one worth $250-$300 more?  Performance numbers seem very close**
A: I looked up the latest amazon price on a samsung 850 pro, which is $197.xx.I therefore assume you may already have an 840 evo.I also noticed you have atleast 2 answers quoting performance specs, which you also probably have already checked out yourself.I will tell you how I made my decision to buy the 850.I've been looking, for a while, for an ssd for my old laptop. I would have chosen the 840 pro over ther 840 evo, mostly because of probable longevity and write speeds. When the 850 came out, it offered more of all that plus much more consisternt performance, plus  being a 3D design, a physically less stessed design.It has a huge cycle life and comes with a 10 year warranty, so I bought it ($199).If you you already have an ssd, how long have you had it?If you wait, next years version will probably have more layer of cells stacked together, which will probably mean more gigabytes per dollar. It will also mean more heat to get out off the same stack. Will that be an issue? Probably not, but who knows.If you dont have an ssd, this is the one(850). Amazon's price on an 840 evo is $68 less;but not worth the differences in my book.If you already have one, then consider is this a big leap forward, or shouild you wait a year or 2?I try to buy on the leaps.

**Q: Does anyone know if this drive as a thermal sensor? so Proliant G8 servers wont run the fan at 100% or report errors with the drive?**
A: ProLiant servers rely on SMART attribute 194 to determine drive temperature, and contain a well-known BIOS bug (design flaw/mistake) that results in the fans running at full speed (they'll claim the temperature detected is 0xFF, I believe) if SMART attribute 194 isn't offered by the underlying drive.  These drives *do not* provide SMART attribute 194, instead Samsung opted to use SMART attribute 190 to track the temperature of the NAND chips internal to the drive itself.  Because there is no official standard defining what SMART attribute number should correlate with what purpose (go ahead and read the T13 T13/2015-D working draft specification if you want proof -- the basic summary is that it's entirely up to the vendor), there's really nothing one can do about this other than insist HP not make blind/bad assumptions in their BIOSes.  Personally I consider this another negative against ProLiant hardware -- IMO, it's just another attempt to keep you "locked in" using HP-branded drives.  If this is a deal-breaker for you, I'd suggest you write your assigned Support Rep an Email explaining your disapproval.

*by M***7 on October 6, 2015*

Excelente producto, si nunca han tenido un SDD (Disco de estado sólido), verán una inmensa diferencia en la carga de programas, de juegos e inicio de Windows, en mi caso cargo Win7 en 12 segundos (desde que ves el logotipo de Windows hasta el Escritorio). El software propietario Magician te ayuda a configurar diferentes escenarios como rendimiento, seguridad, balance; también configura parámetros de Windows automáticamente para optimizar la relación RAM/Espacio de disco, reduce el tamaño de 'memoria virtual' (espacio de disco usado) cuando tienes 4-8 o más Gb en RAM y utiliza una porción de la RAM que no se usa como cache intermedio que acelera aún más las cargas de lectura/escritura. AVISO Se han reportado ALGUNOS casos en donde después de actualizar el FIRMWARE a través de Magician, el SDD presenta problemas o baja de rendimiento. Mi recomendación es que ignoren dicha actualización hasta tener una versión más estable, por lo demás el software funciona bastante bien.
